So, question: When did NoPo gain a fancy new appellation on our Multi-List?

I just noticed that 30 Arnold Street, which used to be described as “North of Post Road”, or “Havemeyer” or even, as deceptive as those terms were, “Old Greenwich” or “Riverside”.

Now the MLS shows it as located in a newly-coined district: something called “North Mianus” — a neighborhood with no zip code of its own, no post office, and whose former, and only claim to fame was as the site of a 1948 housing project of 800 sq.ft. “temporary” (they’re still there) homes for returning WWII veterans.

“North Mianus” didn’t exist as a separate MLS section at least as recently as 2005:

Nor in 2000. Then again, houses in the area were cheaper then, and if the new population of multi-millionaires doesn’t want to be associated with the former neighborhood comprised of grease-stained lawyers and bank vice presidents, well, who can blame them?
